Old practice, new school.. 11:06 PM
I am sure everybody remembers the SARS period from 6 years ago. With the free 1 month holiday due to no apparent reason (that was what I though, it did eat into my June holidays in the end). During that period of time 6 years ago, I was in secondary one. For those people who are younger than me, you were probably in primary school. Count yourself, my age - yours. Hahahaha.
Also remember the boring temperature taking exercise that we have to do everyday and after recess? Yes, that. I am required to do that in Temasek Polytechnic as well.
Being a super big school, we have to queue up to get our temperature taken by the health screening officer. It was ridiculously long and the concourse was flooded with people. Irritating. After you pass the temperature taking and proven that you don't have fever, the officer would then give you a coloured round sticker (I'll refer it as a dot from now on) and you have to paste it on you to indicate that you're "clear". lol. But seriously, I don't really see the point of doing this. According to observations and studies, it has been shown that influenza A is *some-chim-word-here*. I forgot how to spell it. But basically it just means that H1N1 can spread even before symptoms like fever, flu start to show. So, who knows maybe I am not having a fever now but I am spreading the virus already. Sure it does help to a certain extend, but it's not that useful. Oh well, since the school wants it, we'll just go along with it. Haha.
Now, security is so strict in the school, if you do not have a "dot" with you, you will be stopped and be asked questions. And XJ, being blur for once, was rushing to the library from my school to get notes from my friends. However!!! I didn't notice that I lost the dot I got in the morning. So the security guard actually didn't let me go through. I had to run back to ASc, "borrow" a dot from my friend and run back again. Argh... I was actually too darn lazy to do that, but for the sake of the notes. -.-
Recently, I am not chatting much online on MSN already. Due to the crazy workload that I have this semster. I am drained out. Totally. Hope I can faster finish them all and get back to my LLL (Lazy Little Life). So people, be honoured if I reply your message!! I took off my precious time to reply!! LOL! =P
